.Biz Advertisement on MSNBC.com

[izopod]

Just saw this site on MSNBC.com. Couldn't have been that cheap...

http://www.discountbiz.biz/


Not sure if I'm crazy about the name or the site design, but it does say some businesses aren't afraid to use dot biz. Seems they're intent on attracting the "biz" traveler. So the two seem to go together. Probably see more of these type .biz sites in the future. Sites geared toward "biz" professionals.

:-D

enter: www.Anywhere.biz - "You know the slogan!"â„¢

I do like how they market their name.

They feel they have the freedom to "drop" the .biz. Usually it takes years before pure online companies can drop their suffix to make it work, but DiscountBiz isn't messing around... It took Yahoo, awhile, and I distinctly remember calling "Google", "Google dot com" only a few years ago.


Some .biz names you'll absolutely want to keep the .biz in your name (Show.biz), but others such as this one, you'll want to advertise your Business Name, and URL separate. The bonus (in time) will be that the .biz URL will be used as a "beacon" to alert business professionals that the site is business related. Come on in!

I was using Yahoo *before* it was yahoo.com... it was at akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/ first. But people called it Yahoo because that was its name... there was the quaint, archaic concept that the name of a site and the address of a site weren't necessarily the same thing.

Neat. I wished I would have jumped on this bandwagon before 1995. Not only for the commercial aspects, but for the adventure. There weren't too many people "online" pre-1993. Would have been real cool to have surfed the "old web", the old fashion way: cd/windows:insert name here (or something like that)...

CLS (quick quiz)... Does anyone remember what this does in DOS

note: I did enjoy computers pre-1993, but I never in my wildest dreams ever thought we would get "connected" like we have. It wasn't until 1995 that I realized, where the internet was going. Even then it was a little late... And even back then most people didn't realize just how valuable those dot com's would become
